The History of the Margarita

The margarita, a cocktail synonymous with relaxation and festive gatherings, has a storied history that dates back to the early 20th century. The exact origins of the margarita are shrouded in mystery, with several colorful stories vying for authenticity.

One popular legend claims that the margarita was invented in the late 1930s by Carlos "Danny" Herrera at his restaurant, Rancho La Gloria, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito, Mexico. According to the tale, Herrera created the drink for a showgirl named Marjorie King, who was allergic to all spirits except tequila but didn't enjoy drinking it straight.

Another theory attributes the creation of the margarita to socialite Margarita Sames, who allegedly concocted the drink for her guests at a house party in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1948. One of her guests, hotel magnate Tommy Hilton, reportedly brought the recipe back to his chain of hotels, thus popularizing the cocktail.

A third origin story suggests that the margarita is a variation of the Daisy, a cocktail made with brandy, citrus juice, and grenadine, popular in the early 20th century. When tequila was substituted for brandy, the Spanish word for "daisy," margarita, became the name of this new tequila-based cocktail.

Despite its murky origins, the margarita has become a beloved classic, evolving into countless variations that cater to diverse palates.

Why These Spots Stand Out

Each of these venues brings something unique to the table, whether it's the ambiance, the creative flavor combinations, or the quality of the ingredients. Philadelphia’s margarita scene is a testament to the city’s diverse culinary landscape and its ability to blend tradition with innovation.
